Useless app. Recognition camera tool doesn't work.

Pavel Khomich

A *major* flaw is that when using the 'map' view to find artworks in the same area, you cannot zoom out. The map is so small that the markers are practically on top of each other and unless your fingertip is the size of a pin, you can't select them. Needs updating because some artworks have moved; and if you touch your screen to keep it from shutting off during the audio, the audio pauses. Generally a pain in the butt to use. Pay for the audio guide instead.

An outstanding app with volumes of in-depth facts on 15 works and some more additional info. Cant wait to visit the museum some day. High quality images. The app wont work on older android versions like 4.4.2

It's amazing to be able to admire all those work-Art paints.

The app stopped when I selected Map from the menu and Second Floor. I tried several times. Apart from that the information didn't seem to be related to what I wanted to look at.

Amazing opportunity to get insights into the landmark paintings. Well organized and beautiful high res pictures. Using this to prepare for my visit to the Thyssen. Thank you for this app.

Would be OK if the UX wasn't such a disaster
